GENERAL INFORMATION
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Installation or repairs made by unqualified persons can result
in hazards to you and others. Installation must conform with
local building codes or, in the absence of local codes, with
National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70-1996 or current edition.
The information contained in this manual is intended for use
by a qualified service technician familiar with safety procedures and equipped with the proper tools and test instruments.
Shut OFF electric power at unit disconnect and/or service
panel before beginning the following procedures.
Failure to carefully read and follow all instructions in this manual can result in malfunction, property damage, personal
injury, and/or death.
Verify edges of foil faced insulation are not in contact with any
exposed electrical connections.
This instruction covers the physical installation of the following
electric heaters with AHR/AHE18-60 single piece air handlers.
Refer to unit instructions for electrical specifications.
These electric heat accessories are used for applications of
cooling with electric heat and heat pump with electric heat.
Each of the air handler unit models are approved for use with
specific electric heat accessories. The Air Handler installation
instructions, or name plate list the possible combinations and
other important electrical data and limitations.

INSTALLATION
Installation is the same for all operating positions: upflow, horizontal right or left (Refer to Figure 1). Installation of the Heater
Kit should be done prior to unit installation.
1. If Heat Kit has circuit breakers - remove circuit breaker
knockouts from front of air handler unit. For kits with circuit
breakers, cut blower access panel insulation along foil
perforations behind the circuit breaker plate and remove to
open the area for the circuit breakers to protrude through
the front access panel and to provide clearance for circuit
breakers and single point wiring entry kit. Replacement
non-foil faced insulation for the exposed fron t panel may
then need to be added. Add rubber gasket to inside of
door.
2. Remove air handler blower access panel.
3. Remove duct cover from back panel of air handler control
and wiring compartment.
To prevent damage, carefully pass the accessory heating element through the rectangular opening in the discharge duct.
Element mounting plate must be secured with 4 screws.
4. Install electric heat accessory.
a. Position and slide heat kit into opening in air handler.
b. Align holes and fasten the Heat Kit to the air handler
unit with 4 screws.
5. Connect the Heat Kit’s 6 pin socket connector to the appropriate 6 pin connector in the air handler. The end terminals
are “D” shaped to ensure polarization of the connector.
6. Connect the air handler power supply to either the circuit
breaker or terminal block.
Verify edges of foil faced insulation are not in contact with any
exposed electrical connections.
7. Mark an X in the appropriate box on the indoor unit data
plate for the particular heater installed.
All wiring must comply with local and national electrical code
requirements. Read and heed all unit caution labels.
